“…COVID-19 also seems to be related to cardiovascular conditions [ 46 , 47 ]. In light of the fact that moderate PA might improve outcomes following respiratory viral infection and cardiovascular diseases [ 48 , 49 ], future research should examine how PA might affect COVID-19 patients’ outcomes and should explore what type of practice would be more recommendable for this population.…”

Physical activity and a healthy diet are key factors for avoiding major noncommunicable diseases. The aim of the present study was to analyze how physical activity (PA) and adherence to the Mediterranean diet among employees participating in the Healthy Cities program have been affected during confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample was composed of 297 employees from 40 leading companies based in Spain, who participated in the 5th edition of the Sanitas “Healthy Cities” challenge. The participants (148 women and 149 men), aged between 24 and 63 years old (M = 42.76; SD = 7.79) completed the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the PREDIMED (Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea) questionnaire to measure adherence to the Mediterranean diet before and during the pandemic. Pearson χ2 tests revealed that workers were more likely to show sedentary behaviors during the pandemic than before (83.5% vs. 66.7%). Additionally, they were more likely to reach high levels of PA (51.2% vs. 64%), and Wilcoxon tests revealed that energy expenditure measured in Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) was higher during the pandemic (4199.03 METs) than before (3735.32 METs), due to an increase in moderate PA. Lastly, a higher adherence to a Mediterranean diet during the pandemic (76.4%) than before (54.5%) was reported. The findings of this investigation suggest a positive effect of working from home for employees involved in a health-promotion program, and highlight the relevance of this kind of action among this population.

“…The American Heart Association's years of research and studies suggests that the older population is more susceptible to developing AMI. 17,18 The frequency of occurrence of AMI is greater in patients who are aged 45 years and above. Only 10 patients or just 5% of the total were reported to experience premature ventricular complex (PVC) in comparison to a study conducted by Winkler et al 5 which documented that 20% of the patients experienced in excess of 50 PVCs per hour.…”

Objective: To determine the frequency of arrhythmias in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in a tertiary care hospital, Karachi, Pakistan. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted at cardiology department of a tertiary care hospital of Karachi, Pakistan. A total of 189 consecutive patients of either gender presented with ACS during six months of study period were included. Continuous cardiac monitoring (telemetry) was done to record any arrhythmia within 24 hours of onset of symptoms. Results: 189 patients with ACS were included, 152 patients (80.4%) were males with the mean age of 48.23 ± 6.717 years. This included 95 patients (50.3%) with unstable angina, 36 patients (19.1%) with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and 58 patients (30.7%) with Non-STEMI. Arrhythmias were seen in 39 patients (20.6%), most commonly observed type of arrhythmia was premature ventricular contractions (12), atrial fibrillation (nine), ventricular tachycardia (seven), and ventricular fibrillation (five). Conclusion: Arrhythmias were reported in 39 patients from the total, accounting for 20.63% of the entire population. The incidence of cardiac arrhythmia was more in the age group 40-60 years and male population.

“…The community-based exercise has been proven to improve the quality of life and cardiac function in patients after MI and PCI procedure. 20,21 Unfortunately, community-based outdoor exercise was interrupted by either the stay-home order or by the fear of being outside during the COVID-19 pandemic. Outdoor exercise was entirely shut down roughly from January 2020 to March 2020 in China.…”

Objective To evaluate the effects of home-based exercise and physical activity on cardiac functional performance in patients after acute myocardial infarction (MI) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods This retrospective study enrolled patients that received treatment of acute ST-segment elevation MI between and were followed-up 6 months later. The patients were divided into physically active and inactive groups based on their levels of home exercise after hospital discharge. Results A total of 78 patients were enrolled in the study: 32 were physically active and 46 were physically inactive. The baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups. At the 6-month visit, left ventricular ejection fraction and six-minute walking test (6MWT) were significantly improved while the proportion of patients with a New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional III classification was decreased in the active patients, whereas these parameters were not significantly changed in the inactive patients. In addition, the 6MWT was greater while the proportion of patients with an NYHA III classification was lower in the active group than the inactive group at the 6-month visit. Conclusion Maintaining physical activity at home was associated with improved cardiac functional performance in patients after acute MI during the COVID-19 pandemic.
